Emission and absorption band spectra of sulphur dioxide were studied in the region between 2600 to 2000 A.U. A new system of emission bands (about 150 bands) was found. When these bands were compared with the absorption bands and Mr. Lotmar's fluorescent bands, coincidences were found which amount to 40% and 50% of the total number of absorption and fluorescent bands respectively. These agreements and the very different structure as compared with the SO bands recorded on the same plate made it very probable...

Emission and absorption band spectra of sulphur dioxide were studied in the region between 2600 to 2000 A.U. A new system of emission bands (about 150 bands) was found. When these bands were compared with the absorption bands and Mr. Lotmar's fluorescent bands, coincidences were found which amount to 40% and 50% of the total number of absorption and fluorescent bands respectively. These agreements and the very different structure as compared with the SO bands recorded on the same plate made it very probable that SO2, is the emitter of these emission bands. Evidences were also found that these emission bands arc not the known bands of O2, Oa+ and S2 in the same region. As a further support a vibra-tional level scheme was worked out, using the three fundamental frequencies of the normal SO2, molecule (1150, 525, and 1360 cm-1) in the lower state and 750 and 350 cm-1 (possible also 1110 cm-1) as the frequencies in the upper state. This scheme accounts for 1Q% of the absorption bands, 70% of the emission bands and a small fraction of the fluorescent bands. While the scheme may not be the final due to the complexity of the vibrational formula, one feels fair, as far as the present evidence goes, to conclude that the emission bands observed are actually emitted by the SO2, molecules and that they can be fitted by a vibrational level scheme based on the three known fundamental frequencies of the normal state.

A new wavemeter with cathode-ray for decimeter and centimeter waves is proposed, utilizing special deflections of cathode ray in a rapidly alternating field. When the wavelength of the deflecting field is short enough, the deflections can be made to have maximum and zero sensitivities or phase-shifts by adjusting the anode voltage. Formulas for computing the wavelength are derived and fully discussed. All factors concerning this type of wavemeter are thoroughly investigated from the theoretical considerations...

Properties of the electric network determinants are throughly investigated. The new rules for obtaining the denominator and the numerators of the electric network determinants due to K. T. Wang are generalized. Both the generalized rules and the rules given by Kirchhoff are proved from the properties of the determinants studied. A new inductive method for obtaining the denominator and the numerators is offered.
